Notes:
WYRE FOREST DISTRICT COUNCIL
ANNUAL REPORT OF ACTIVITIES 2009/10
COUNCILLOR: John Campion
WARD: Sutton Park
Section 1: Ward Activities (including Surgeries)
This has been an interesting and diverse year in Sutton Park with a huge range of issues presenting themselves throughout the year. The issues raised by residents have included crime, anti social behaviour, speeding, parking, litter, dog fouling and refuse to name but a few. I have worked closely with my colleagues Councillor Onslow and Councillor Hart to ensure we have engaged effectively with the communities that we work for throughout the year, regularly distributing newsletters and providing meetings with our constituents as and when required.
Section 2: Council Meetings
Appointments & Appeals Committee, Bewdley Museum, Cabinet, Transformation Board, Corporate Performance Clinic, Council, Group Leaders', Kidderminster Educational Foundation, Miscellaneous Functions and Treasury Management Review Panel.
Section 3: Achievements
As Leader of Wyre Forest District Council I have additional responsibilities to those of a Ward Councillor.
2009/10 has been another exceptional year for Wyre Forest and I am very pleased to say that the Council has risen to every challenge presented to it. This year has been a year of change as the Council has sought to adapt to its new financial circumstances.
I would like to pay homage to the Council's Senior Leadership Team and all of its Officers in the way that they have worked with us as elected members in moving our priorities forward.
As part of my role, I have sought to work with the Senior Management Team and all members of the Council to address pressing matters as they have arisen and to coordinate the strategic response to our financial circumstances and to address the priorities of our constituents.
The year has seen a significant change within the Senior Leadership of the Council including the appointment of a new Chief Executive. It is fair to say that navigating the recruitment process for a new Chief Executive within the District Council is a challenge that would face any Council Leader. I am very grateful for the smooth way in which the appointment of our new Chief Executive was delivered and would like to thank Group Leaders and the Council's Human Resources Team for their support in this process.
I have participated fully with the Council's Scrutiny Committee Function.
I believe that this year the Council has progressed in all areas of its priorities and whilst of course, there are always lessons to be learnt, I believe we can look back at the municipal year 2009/10 as a year which has sought to bring stability to the District Council.
Section 4: Special Knowledge
I have an educational background in Information Technology attaining a Batchelor of Science in Business Information Systems. I also have a wide experience of the private sector.
